Help shape the next chapter of a strong logistics operation. Are you ready to lead people, improve performance and create sustainable impact across an entire site? Bring your perspective, challenge what is possible and apply today.

Essity – a leading global hygiene and health company and the home of brands like Libero, TENA, Libresse, Tork, Sorbact and JOBST is offering an exciting and challenging opportunity for you who want to contribute with your expertise, energy and creativity. We are looking for an additional colleague to join as a Logistics Manager.

About the Role

As Logistics Manager, you will lead and further develop the site’s logistics operation, covering the flow, storage and distribution of raw materials and finished goods. You will be accountable for Material Stores, Supply Service, Warehouse and Technical Management, leading these areas through an experienced leadership team.

This is an opportunity to build on strong operational foundations while driving the next stage of development. You will improve safety, service, productivity and working-capital performance through data-based decisions and continuous improvement.

As a member of the site leadership team, you will contribute beyond the logistics function. You will collaborate with Planning, other site functions, the wider logistics organization and external partners to make decisions that support the performance of the whole site.

What You Will Do

• Leadership and organization development: Lead the logistics organization through its managers, set clear expectations and develop the leadership group into an effective and collaborative team.
• Safety leadership: Promote a strong safety culture and ensure high standards in an operational environment involving vehicle traffic, lifting, pallets and material movements.
• Material and product flow: Ensure the efficient movement, storage and distribution of raw materials and finished goods, supporting reliable and timely deliveries.
• Operational performance: Drive continuous improvement, productivity and cost optimization across logistics while maintaining strong operational standards, including 5S and TPM principles.
• Inventory management: Optimize stock levels, warehouse capacity and working capital in close collaboration with the Planning organization.
• Data and financial analysis: Monitor service, stock and cost KPIs, interpret operational data and develop robust business cases for resources, capacity and improvement initiatives.
• Stakeholder collaboration: Represent Logistics in the site leadership team and work effectively with internal functions, international stakeholders and external logistics and service partners.

Who You Are

• You have a university degree in Logistics or a related discipline, or equivalent knowledge and capabilities gained through relevant professional experience and training.
• You bring solid logistics experience and proven leadership experience. Experience leading other leaders or a sizeable operational organization would be particularly valuable.
• You are confident using Microsoft Office and enterprise resource planning systems to access, understand and analyze data. SAP experience is advantageous but not essential.
• You are an inclusive and collaborative leader with a strong safety mindset, sound financial understanding and the ability to make evidence-based decisions. You communicate effectively, build productive stakeholder relationships and consider the needs of the complete site when forming and defending a professional viewpoint.
• Fluency in English is required. Swedish language capability is advantageous; candidates without Swedish should be willing to develop sufficient proficiency for effective local communication.
